If there is a God, he should be giving us all the last year back. It is nice not to be working up to Christmas Eve morning and then back in on Boxing Day night though. Second year, and it’s easy to get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWJ Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 I’ve noticed quite a few supermarkets are closed on 25th/26th to give their staff a couple of days off. Quite right too IMHO.

No trains Christmas Day or Boxing Day(limited service in the Strathclyde region.), no Scotrail trains on New year's day. Scotrail runs a Sunday service on January the 2nd.
